    A 4:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C 3:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price of the article be Rs. ‘100x’ Then, selling price of the article = 0.60 × (100x)
    = Rs. 60x Cost price of the article = 60x × (100/80)
    = Rs. 75x Required ratio = 75x : 100x = 3 : 4
